Sunburst ~ The Light Peeks Through

I finished Sunburst this week and what a week to do so. I apologise for the quality of the photograph. The lighting has been so dull here that trying to get a decent representation of the colours I use in my work has been nigh on impossible. It’s almost enough to make me look into buying a decent lamp for photographing my work. I may have to do so, particularly once we move and settle into our new place wherever that may be.

As I finished Sunburst it really spoke to me, during a week where things have seemed very dark to me it said “Let us hope that the light of tomorrow is brighter than today.” I needed that message this week as I have been struggling to stay on top of my depression and feelings of hopelessness in light of the fact that we have to leave our home by the end of September and I’m finding it terribly difficult to find a property that I can afford and that will accept me and the kids.

I completed this painting the day I was at my lowest which was last Tuesday and while it wasn’t a cure all for how I was feeling it did help to remind me that somewhere in amongst all the negative feelings that have been swamping me there is light, hope, good and happiness.

Sunburst is available for purchase directly from my website. It’ll be posted in the store soon or you can use the site to contact me about it or any of my other work.
